So did The Eye come here tonight looking for me?"…
““So did The Eye come here tonight looking for me?" "Actually, we came because we heard it was free corn dog night. Imagine our disappointment." I jerked my head to look at him. That was a mistake. We were already so close that turning to face him meant our noses were about an inch apart. So I craned my back away and addressed my words to the street. "The last time we saw each other, you pulled a knife on me. So if you could spare the banter, that'd be great." Of course, the last time we saw each other, we'd also shared a kiss so hot it nearly set my hair on fire,but I wasn't about to bring that up.””
